It's Halloween, and time for scaring family and friends.
Do you
remember the monster under the bed? When I was a child, I knew it was a
man-eating lion. He'd disappear when someone walked into the room, but stick an
arm or leg over the edge and he'd snap them off.
What about
the creepy house just down the street, the one you passed by every day on
the way to school? Did you imagine someone watching you from the broken window?
Remember the cornfield
that went on for miles and miles. Did you ever run through it and get lost
among the dying stalks? Remember the panic that set in and the laughter of your
cousin, when you finally emerged with the stain of tears on your face certain
that something had been hunting you.
Or maybe it
was more benign, a graveyard that looked serene during the day, but at night
unexplained lights would move among the gravestones and give you the chills or
worse.
Tell us about
the horror that stalked you in the night. Write about it for this month's
challenge and turn those childhood fears in a scare-fest like no other.
